Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 CYP1A1 (*2A) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene, interactions with tobacco-users, and susceptibility to bladder cancer: a study from North India.

Abstract excerpt

The role of low penetrance genes and environmental factors in the etiology of bladder cancer (CaB) is unclear, but may involve genetic and environmental factors. Most environmental pro-carcinogens require metabolic activation by phase I enzymes (CYP450s), However, phase II enzyme (i.e., microsomal epoxide hydrolase: mEH) is mainly involved in the detoxification of wide variety of endogenous or exogenous...
